Next chapter

A few months ago, when Li Yu first came to Qihua, he went to the old city to look for traces of Guihongmen, but found nothing. ▲∴▲∴, all he remembered at that time were the contact points 400 years ago, after various ups and downs in the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China and the contemporary era, these contact points have long been wiped out, and of course Li Yu can't find them.

Before leaving Nandao, Zhu Chun'an gave Li Yu a new contact map, which marked the addresses and names of more than 100 contact points established by Guihongmen on the mainland and overseas during the Anti-Japanese War. From Zhu Chun'an, Li Yu learned that Guihongmen had gradually disappeared after the Anti-Japanese War, and it can be said that these contact points were the last clues of Guihongmen.

In the hospital these days, Li Yu has carefully studied this contact map, and he has also seen the place name Qihua. According to the contact map, there is an inn on Tiemen Street in Qihua, and the owner's surname is Gu, named Gu San, who is Guihongmen's contact person in Qihua. Li Yu searched for the place name Tiemen Street on the mobile phone map, and found that it is located in the old town of Qihua, and the name has been changed to Friendship Street, and I don't know who commemorates the friendship between whom.

Li Yu plans to start with Qihua first, to find the descendants of Guihongmen, even if it is said that Guihongmen has really disappeared completely, he has to verify it himself before he can die. Of course, he also knows that the possibility of finding Gu San is very weak, from the end of the Anti-Japanese War to the present, nearly 70 years have passed, even if Gu San was only in his 20s back then, he must be 100 years old now, can he still be alive?

With the mood of gaining and losing, Li Yu came to Friendship Street and began his journey of exploring the secrets.

"Uncle, do you know that there was a Gu Sanye who opened an inn on this street?" Li Yu asked an old man sitting in the sun at the door of his house. The old man's face was wrinkled, he looked sluggish, he looked like he was not ninety but eighty, if he had always lived in this area, he might have heard of Gu San's name.

"Third Master Gu? Haven't heard of it. The old man shook his head decisively.

"Think again." Li Yu still didn't give up, and continued to ask.

The old man said angrily: "What's the matter with you young man? Think I'm confused, don't you? I said I hadn't heard of it, I just hadn't heard of it. What is Gu Sanye, there is a surname Gu on this street, he is not an innkeeper, he sells meat, is he looking for him? ”

Li Yu hurriedly nodded: "Uh, okay, then where does this meat seller surnamed Gu live?" ”

"It's long gone." The old man said, there was no compassion in his words, but more like a little schadenfreude, and I don't know if he had any trouble with that Gu butcher.

"That'...... Does he have any descendants? ”

"He has no descendants, a pig killer, who is willing to marry him......"

“…… Uh, well, thank you......"

Li Yu certainly wouldn't give up because of a frustration, he said goodbye to the old man, and continued to walk forward, inquiring about the residents on both sides, while carefully observing the door number of the shop, trying to find any traces from it.

Unlike the South Island, Friendship Street, even the old neighborhood of Kihua, has changed dramatically from more than 60 years ago. There are very few old buildings left on both sides of the street, replaced by a mix of buildings from the 50s to the present day. Although the frame of some houses is still old, the roof has been layered, the walls have been supported, and the walls have been pasted with colored tiles, so that the original appearance can no longer be seen at all. Li Yu turned around a lot, and his mouth was dry and bitter when he asked, but he still didn't find anything. He stood on the street, looking at the red, green and green signs in his eyes, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

"Young man, what are you looking for?"

A voice came from behind Li Yu unexpectedly, startling Li Yu. There were people coming and going on the street, so Li Yu relaxed his vigilance and didn't pay special attention to the movements around him. Otherwise, with his skill and sensitivity, it is impossible for someone to walk behind him without even noticing.

"Sir, are you talking to me?"

Li Yu looked back and saw an old man in his early 60s standing behind him, who was not good-looking. He bowed to the other and asked politely.

The old man looked Li Yu up and down, then nodded and said, "I've seen you all the way, are you looking for someone, can you tell me?" ”

"Really?" Li Yu was a little embarrassed, someone stared at him all the way, but he didn't find out, in that kind of era of war and chaos, I am afraid that he would have died a long time ago.

"Old man, I'm really looking for someone, looking for an old gentleman named Gu Sanye, have you heard of this name?" Li Yu asked.

The old man's face was not shocked, and he asked lightly: "What are you looking for him, is he your relative?" ”

This is the most calm answer Li Yu heard today, Li Yu's heart moved, he restrained his smile, and said: "It's not a relative, but an old man, could it be that the old gentleman knows the Gu Sanye I am looking for?" ”

The old man didn't answer Li Yu's question, but continued to ask: "You said that this Gu Sanye is your old friend, I don't know what your old friend is." I see that young man, your age is around 20, when have you seen this Gu Sanye? ”

Li Yu smiled and replied, "I have never met Gu Sanye, I know his reason, it's just because of ......"

Speaking of this, he scratched the ground with his toes, and vaguely drew the appearance of a wild goose. This is the secret mark of Guihongmen, if the old man has anything to do with Gu Sanye of Guihongmen, he may be able to see the meaning of this pattern. On the other hand, if the old man can't see it, there is no need for Li Yu to talk nonsense.

The old man followed Li Yu's gaze and looked to the ground, and when he saw the marks made by Li Yu's toes, his face changed suddenly. He raised his head, looked at Li Yu again for a while, and then said in a low voice, "You come with me." ”

After that, he raised his legs and left, Li Yu was also a master of art and bold, seeing this situation, he followed the old man without hesitation. The old man walked very slowly, and he looked leisurely. Li Yu knew the rules, but he just followed the old man two steps away, and didn't step forward to say anything to the old man, so that outsiders looked like two people who had nothing to do with each other.

After walking along the street for a while, the old man turned into an alley, and Li Yu followed him. After walking a few steps forward, there is a small three-story building in front of you, and there is a light box hanging outside the door of the building, on which is written the words "Youyuan Hotel".

Youyuan Hotel is a chain of express hotels in Yunjiang Province, and there are also several branches in Yuhai, which Li Yu has seen before. Seeing that the old man entered the hotel without raising his head, Li Yu followed closely and walked into the lobby of the hotel.

This is a budget hotel renovated from the former tube building, the lobby area is not large, except for the counter, there is only about 20 square meters left. Opposite the counter, there is a circle of sofas against the wall, which is used for check-in customers to take a break from their feet. I don't know if it's because the business of the hotel is not good, or if it's going to happen to be a vacancy, except for a waiter sitting behind the counter in a daze with sleepy eyes, there are no other idlers in the lobby.

"Young man, please take a seat."

The old man led Li Yu to the side of the sofa, sat down first, and then pointed to a sofa next to him, and said to Li Yu.

Li Yu thanked him, sat down on the sofa, and was about to open his mouth to ask the old man something, but saw that the old man's eyes turned to other places, obviously not wanting to talk to him. Li Yu followed the old man's eyes, and looked at a painting on the opposite wall, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, only to see that the painting style was mediocre, not like a famous painting, the painting was a vast reed, and there was a lonely goose flying in mid-air, and the head of the lonely goose turned slightly, which was the secret mark of "the northern goose returned to the south".

"How's this painting?" The old man asked with a smile.

"It's really a good painting." Li Yu responded.

"What's so good?"

"The sky is clear and a goose is far away."

"Feihong is late in the snow."

"Yan Ge is still unbroken."

"Saijon spreads his wings."

After the four incisions, the old man's face showed a look of surprise, he stood up, made a gesture to Li Yu, and said, "Young man, you come with me." ”

Li Yu followed the old man into a well-decorated guest room, the old man beckoned Li Yu to sit down, then carefully closed the door, turned around, and asked in a surprised tone: "Who are you, how do you know these rules?" ”

"Return to Li Yu, a disciple of Hongmen, and meet your seniors." Li Yu bowed his hand to the old man and made a junior salute. No way, age is his flaw, and he is used to thinking of himself as a junior.

"Kihua Chen Yilin." The old man introduced himself, "The Gu Sanye you are looking for is my father-in-law, his old man died 30 years ago, and I am his only heir." ”

"I see." Li Yu was not surprised by this result, no wonder he inquired about the person surnamed Gu and had no result, it turned out that Gu San's successor was his son-in-law, not surnamed Gu.

"Cangmu rudder? How come I've never heard of such a rudder? Chen Yilin asked curiously.

"The younger generation has been living in Cangmu Mountain since childhood, my master is a Taoist, he said that our branch is the Cangmu rudder of Guihongmen, but he is the only descendant of Cangmu rudder, and I am the only disciple of my master." Li Yu said.

"No wonder." Chen Yilin accepted Li Yu's explanation, no matter what, Li Yu knew the joint code of Guihongmen, and he would draw the secret mark of Guihongmen, at least it could show that he had a good relationship with Guihongmen.

"Gu Sanye's matter, is it also what your master told you?" Chen Yilin asked again, "Also, what is the matter with you coming to me?" (To be continued.) )
